Linear Search in Array

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int linear_search(uint8_t *arr, uint8_t n, uint8_t key) {
    // Your logic here
    int i=0;
    int result = -1;
    for (i=0; (i < n) ; i++) {
        if (arr[i] == key) {
            return i;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t n, key;
    scanf("%hhu", &n);
    uint8_t arr[100];

    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        scanf("%hhu", &arr[i]);
    }
    scanf("%hhu", &key);

    int index = linear_search(arr, n, key);
    printf("%d", index);
    return 0;
}

Solving Approach

scan string looking for match. on first match return index, if no match and end of string return -1
